As in the classic dice game, For One: Kniffel involves a bit of luck with the dice and a lot of strategy when deciding how to use the dice results. Five dice are available each round from the supply, which contains a total of 17 dice. These dice should be placed on the scoring card to earn as many points as possible, but also strategically since you get back only the dice you have already placed in categories that have been scored thanks to you meeting certain conditions — and you're trying to play as many rounds as possible to keep scoring. For One: Kniffel includes multiple levels of gameplay.
